Answer:

x=7, -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-5x=14

x^2-5x-14=0

factor out the trinomial,

(x-7)(x+2)=0

zero property,

x-7=0, x+2=0,

x=0+7=7,

x=0-2=-2

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 5x = 14 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

x² - 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 7 and + 2, since

- 7 × 2 = - 14 and - 7 + 2 = - 5, thus

(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

Wastewater is filling barrels at the rate of 11 quarts per hour. The recycling facility picks up 120 full barrels on each trip,
dalvyx [7]
(1 h)/(11 qt) * (12 qt)/(1 barrel) * (120 barrels/pickup) * (1 day)/(24 h)
.. = 12*120/(11*24) day/pickup
.. = 5 5/11 days/pickup

120 barrels will be filled every 5 5/11 days. Some trips will be 5 days apart, some trips will be 6 days apart.

A line that is parallel to y=-3x+2 and contains the point (3,-3)
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

y = -3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines that are parallel will have the same slope. All we need to do is find the new y-intercept.

-3 = -3(3) + b

-3 = -9 + b

6 = b

Now we can input the stuff we know and solved for back into the original formula [ y = mx + b ].

y = -3x + 6

Best of Luck!
